cizim cok guzel, ellerine saglik!!

the idea is really original, i agree with others! Making it as a fantasy element is even better ;D
what are you planning on putting in the bg? just empty plains or are you gonna fill it up?
your drawing style is very nice as well!!

I like the chosen palette and the back lighting. It has good ambience.

Nice ! My suggestion is to try to put some more emotion in the master. have him in a fighting stance or something..Just fool around with it and see what different postures can do to strengthen your allready astounding composition!

ur work looks incredible...I just saw ur thread, there are so many talented artists here...may I suggest something: can you strengthen the shadows on the folds...reat job otherwise...

Wow, very cool colour, a lot of harmony. Like the expression of the master. Hope to see more, mate

Your colors are sympathetic nerves, perhaps makes attention with the folds of clothing if not very cool.

Superb work with colors. Will you add some fresnel-like effects to the edges of the characters (esp the skin of the beast) so the edges will be more visible and they don't fade away into the sand? Or will you keep the black outlines (which is still fine)

Tariq12: Thanks man!

Fiolka Alexandre: Maybe i can make the beast more aggressive but its impossible to look at master.Cuz its against the montagne .You have to check out my sketches and u'll see where the beast is lookin at. Thanks...

ilusiondigital: Thanks man!

Tranchefeux: Instead of darkening the cloth i'll add more light to some places, thats all. Thanks...

Hesido: For my opinion, in some places, figures will mix with place by fog, smoke and light effects.. and black lines are only assistence to the picture. Thanks...

a bit bothered by the creature. left paw and teeth. i think when beasts snarl they show mostly front teeth? light on the staff can still be a bit more intense?

You took your painting a long way already -- good work! The posture of the master and his beast seem to be so much more energetic now.

I'd agree with cha0t1c1: maybe you'd need to work out more shadow-plays on the clothing (esp on the shirt) to achieve more contrast and realism. I think you already chose light coming from two sides when considering the face and the gown -- so don't forget this when working on the folds...

About the herded souls: maybe the concept of souls being herded would be more obvious when there is more than one hovering around? Just an idea, don't harm your whole composition...

Bahadir, very nice work, I just love your colors, I don't know what it is but I feel like an insect attracted by a lamp when I look at those colors.

Awesome work.

Hello Akrep!! What's going on?..:) Your caracter looks very good:thumbsup: maybe, just a detail, You should add pupils in his eyes, but very slightly..Just to suggest them...In order to give him a more demoniac feeling and to avoid entirely white eyes ...

Akrep

05-10-2005, 07:37 PM

Fiolka Alexandre: I am planning to leave it as it. But why not:)
Thanks anyway...

And i like the latest detail... look forward to seeing him in the scene...

Cool style, I love the clouds too. reminds me of traditional oils. Only crit is that the 'soul' could use a little more contrast.. or maybe lighten the darks to give the whole figure a lighter key. Another thing, it looks a little monkey like, is this intentional?!
Nevertheless, it looks amazing and your level is much higher than mine, so who am I to crit? :D Feel free to ignore me.

I'll be keeping an eye on this....keep it up!

duddlebug : Thanks Man!

paperclip :
you catch the right point
its true that the soul looks like a monkey,maybe i wouldn't notice it if you didnt say..thanks a lot

I've been looking at the image Backgroun_3 for ten minutes now, it seems. Same old song: I don't know how I missed this one.

It's astonishing that something so bereft of inhabitants can be so moving. It's one of the finest skies I've ever seen painted, and I've seen a quite a few.. Your final image is, to me, a strange and beautiful mix of the fantastic, the fairy tale, and the legend. I don't pretend to know what it all means, but that is part of the beauty. I wish you much much good luck with the challenge.
